it's time for show-off Sunday, where everyone has a chance to show off their
own car and here's this week's winner, this here is a 2011 Ford f-150 limited
edition, now looking at the VIN badge and inside that they have, they only made
1100 of these trucks, I was looking around at this vehicle and me personally
I never liked white trucks, and I liked this one for some reason I think it's
the way it reflects on this truck, so let's actually look at it right now
so this is like a pearl white color and I really liked it on the rims I thought
it looked really good with the rims, I take it out for a test drive and after
that it was pretty much over, this vehicle
actually spent a lot of its time in Canada, it somehow came down here in an
auction my buddy at his car lot ended up buying it and now it's with me, now first
thing that you really notice when you open this door, so unfortunately the last
owner took off the running boards, they were power running boards, so they are no
longer there, I'm not sure if they were some electrical issue with it or they
just didn't like it, but I am not putting a new one on, one feature I really like
is this limited badge right here it really sticks out when you first walk
into the cabin, I also have this really cool two-tone leather steering wheel,
leather wrapped of course, now one thing I really like I didn't have in my last f150
was that beautiful sunroof, another thing I like is the Sony speakers and they
actually I am impressed is a big step up from my last vehicle, another thing I like
about this truck is not only do you have front heated seats, but they are also
cooled seats, so not only are they available in the front seats, these back
seats that I'm not 100% sure if it comes on the Lariat model, but this
is a Larry limited it has like I was saying heated and cooled back seats as
well as vents in the back, so that's I thought that was pretty interesting, I didn't
even know that was there until afer I bought the
vehicle I wasn't even paying much attention to the back seats, but very
roomy fully leather, I really really like the way
they set up this truck, I mean look at this thing
the rims just really, 20 inch rims really look good with the truck, so this being a
2011 which it's a little dated yes, but still serves it's purpose well, it has the
GPS map inside, which works very well I've
noticed some of the roads aren't quite updated, but it shows me live traffic
which I was like oh well that's pretty cool I don't use it that much just because to be
honest it's a lot easier to use Google Maps, but I really like this feature for
climate control on the touch screen instead of you know if you don't want to
use these buttons, well hey you got a touchscreen, then you got your satellite
radio and all that good stuff, so it's a really nice system I like how they put
that in there it's a nice big screen it works really well, so let's go
ahead and start this up this is a 6.2 v8 engine, the same engine they use in the
Raptor actually, they decided to discontinue this engine and now they're
using the high output v6 I believe in the limited versions, which puts out more
horsepower but you can't beat the v8, so here is that nice 6.2 v8 that
to be honest with you, you cannot beat the sound of a v8 engine, I had my last
f150 was the v6 ecoboost, I loved the thing it was zippy and it was quick, got good
gas mileage, but it does not replace the
sound of a v8 engine, you know a lot of trucks these days have kind of went away
from the v8, but they're now starting to come back to it which i think is a good
option, so this is still pretty stock, I put a K&N dropped the air filter
in the airbox, my old truck had a cold air intake and some other things
done to it, I haven't quite got to it with this truck, I am thinking about
doing a nice catback exhaust system, I'm not sure if I'm going to do a cold air
intake on this one though just because it's a naturally aspirated engine, it
doesn't benefit from a cold air intake like a turbo charged GDI engine would
alright let's go ahead and rev up this engine
man that v8 sounds mean, another thing about this truck that I personally
like is the way it rides, it rides very very smooth, the combination of the tires
with the suspension, it doesn't feel like a truck that much, it is a truck but when
you're driving it down the road you know it is so smooth, you know some trucks like
to go with a chrome, chrome bumpers, a lot of chrome,
I like chrome but this white actually
looks really good with it matching the bumper, it even has a lovely backup camera
stock backup camera which works really well, these license plate lights were
actually halogen, I replaced them and put LED
lights just because I think they look better this is a short bed five and a
half foot bed, my last truck was a six and a half foot bed, I actually like the
style of this shorter bed, it actually makes it easier to park too I'm not gonna
lie, so feature wise this thing is just about
fully loaded, I didn't realize how many features this vehicle had until I started
driving it and kind of exploring around, down here we have the ambient lighting
very cool it's not super bright so it's not annoying, it's there at night to
where you can see it one of my favorite all-time features of
this truck, I know it's pretty simple but it's really convenient, is the power
sliding mirrors and the reason I say that is when you go park somewhere, I am
very careful about where I park, I don't want people hitting my vehicle, just being
able to fold the mirrors with a button makes it a lot easier than getting out and
folding each mirror on each side, so that's a really cool feature that I like,
as long as it works you know electronics these days are not
always the most reliable, I've driven a lot of
Ford trucks and this one's probably my favorite, it's very smooth it's full of
features that you don't see in every truck
and it's still a truck, so if you want a tow hey you can still tow like a
normal truck, it's useful like a truck but it's also luxury like a luxury car, I
